The ruling on making up the fast of one who left it due to ignorance of the ruling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman asks: A menstruating woman left fasting, and she was thirteen years old, out of shyness toward her family, that is what she says, because they did not inform her that she was menstruating,
The Shaykh : or that she would deceive them.
The questioner : O scribe, they did not inform her. So does she have to make up that period which she did not fast?
The Shaykh : What we hold is that one who left fasting, first, uh, uh, and had not reached puberty due to her young age, if she was in a house far from knowledge and from students of knowledge, like those growing up in the desert, then she owes no fast, she owes no fast, because the scriptural evidence
The questioner : indicates that the ignorant person who has no foundation upon which to build is excused. And this is in several matters. First, in the two Sahihs, a man entered the mosque and prayed a prayer in which he did not settle, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Go back and pray, for you have not prayed. He repeated this three times,
The Shaykh : so he said: By Him who sent you with the truth, I do not know how to do anything other than this, so teach me. So he taught him. And he did not order him to make up the missed prayers. Why? Because he was ignorant. And he only ordered him to repeat the present prayer because its time was still remaining, and he was required to pray in that time.
Likewise, 'Ammar ibn Yasir was in a state of major ritual impurity. So he thought that the purity of dry ablution
So she would roll in the dust, just as a beast rolls, and she prayed. When she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), she told him what had happened. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: “It would have been sufficient for you to say, ‘In the name of Allah,’ and to do this with your hands.” He struck the ground with his hands and wiped his left hand over his right, the backs of his hands, and his face. He did not order her to repeat the prayer for which she had not performed the prescribed tayammum, because she was ignorant. As for this woman who reached puberty while still young, and who is far from knowledge and from seeking knowledge, and whose family are among the people who are heedless, as is found in many people before this new awareness—and praise be to Allah—we say that she owes no making up of the fast. However, if she was in a house of knowledge and in a place where she could ask with ease, and there was a degree of negligence on her part, then the safest course for her conscience is to make up the fast. Yes, yes. As for the prayer, the general rule is that she prays; the general rule is that this issue only presents a difficulty regarding the fast. Yes.
